# Basics

* You are untrackable on the Deep Web. **FALSE!!!**
* The Dark Web is only for underground criminals. **FALSE**
* You will get arrested for browsing the Deep Web. **FALSE**
* The Deep Web is a portal to information that others don't want you to have. **PARTIALLY TRUE**
* You DON'T have access to censored material. **FALSE**
* The Deep Web is Impenetrable. **FALSE**

You should be taking your anonymity very seriously if you are visiting the Deep Web and especially if you are viewing any Darknet Markets. The first thing you should do before doing anything is getting your self a VPN ([Virtual Private Network](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_network)). The ISP’s and Government Agencies are tracking and logging everything you do online now so don’t make it easy for them to catch you. They will be tracking who downloads Tor, the ISP’s are already logging your Tor usage and agencies like the DEA and NSA will be digging through the data with a fine tooth comb. If you use a good VPN that keeps no logs then your internet traffic is completely encrypted so not even your ISP or Law Enforcement will even know that you are using Tor let alone looking at Darknet Markets. Alternatively you can use tor bridges.

* **Don't open ANYTHING you have downloaded while you are still using TOR.**

first step  is shutdown any other browsers you have open. if this may inconvencice you sandbox the tor browser or the other
browser.

second step is disable javascript. javascript can and will be used to fingerprint you.

third step is explore. if you are looking for fiancial services just beware of scams.
